I've noticed a lot of girls one here romanticize pain but I wonder if they would still feal that way if they had to live with it 24/7/365. For people like me that live with chronic pain there are no "Good Days" only "barely bearable" where you plod on and hope to accomplish something to "intolerable" when you just want to give up. The amount of Morphine I take would make most people incapable of stringing together a complete sentence yet for me it just takes enough of the edge off of the pain so I'm not curled up in bed wishing I were dead! Today was the kind of day where it hurt to do anything but some things had to be done. Every pothole was jarring and each accumulated to the last so by the time I was home I just crawled in bed and quit.

Let me try to explain the type of pain I'm talking about. If you've ever head a broken bone you might be able to understand. It's like a break (braket?) that has been healing for about a week or two and then constantly banging it with enough force that it NEVER HEALS. Or a Sprain that never heals. And because it's my lower back there is no way to keep pressure off of it like when using crutches or a sling.

That's all for now. Thanks for taking the time to read and for caring enough that you took the time to.
